Happy New Year and what else is there?

Hey there all my blog followers and those not following :) I hope everyone had a Happy New Year and all that jazz. Not a whole lot to report here otherwise but I felt like blogging just because well....I haven't since last year lol If you follow me on twitter or facebook then you are able to keep up with what's been going on since I haven't had a whole lot of time to be blogging.

Let's see...well my New Year has certainly started out pretty good. I'm maintaining my stance on many issues that at one time caused a shot storm of stress and drama. Guess what? No drama and no bullshit from "the others". Life is overall, great! Sure life is going to throw it's bs my way from time to time but I've become a master at fielding it thus far and will only continue to get better at it. Example: Recently my daughter and son's father has been in contact with me. Normally I'd avoid this like the plague but now I sit back and smile knowing I am well prepared to handle anything he decides to throw my way. It feels pretty good knowing that. I could sit here being angry and frustrated but I've come to realize that, that does NO good. So instead I sit back knowing that I am doing MY best for MY kids and ultimately that's all that matters. If he wants to run his games with me again (or try to) he's going to have to get used to a whole lot of disappointment and guess what? He'll be playing the game all by his little self. Anyway...moving on......

I've been debating on going back to school but I'm just not exactly sure for what. I know I would like to be working with special needs kids and their families but I don't want to be a social worker. I'm more of a hands on kind of person. I love seeing the special needs kids that I know reach their goals and learn new things. I don't want to be a teacher in the classroom sense though. So here I sit and ponder. Hmmm....
Then you add to the fact that I already have student loans from years ago that I've been unable to pay off. Do I really want to add to them? Not so much, but going back to school will do just that so...I guess I keep plugging away at the student loans and figure out once and for all what field of study I'd like to go into before I add anymore to it.

I fought the good fight with my desktop computer. I dared to open it up, exposing the guts and  replaced the fan and the power supply. Guess what? I'm done. I fear it is the motherboard and/or the processor that are the culprits behind my computer freezing up and shutting down. I tap! No more for me please. So once taxes get filed and come back I'll be buying or having someone build me a new desktop computer. Then I'll be giving this piece of crap vista laptop to my kids. It will serve them a lot better than it is able to serve me with the high end stuff I need for work. I'm also going to get rid of this computer hutch I have since it's a heat box and doesn't give any computer the proper breathing room it needs.

Well that's all for now. I have to go run some errands and do some grocery shopping. Then the kids get home and we have conferences and then therapy for my D man.

Later all :)  I promise it wont be so long between updates from here on out :)
